This summer, the year-old woman from New Jersey joined Pure , the hot new hookup app where anything goes. The brainchild of Ukrainian entrepreneurs Roman Sidorenko and Alexander Kukhtenko, the app currently boasts a half-million active, international users, mostly in cities like London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow. In the New York City area, Pure has approximately 20, prospective daters.
According to Hintsyak, the number of Pure users has increased percent since last year. The average user is between 25 and 40, with 67 percent identifying as male, 30 percent female, and 3 percent non-binary.
Seventy percent say they are straight, 20 percent claim to be bisexual with the remainder saying they are gay, lesbian, queer or asexual. Notably, while the vast majority of Pure users are men, no male users would agree to speak to The Post. New users of Pure will find it straightforward enough, downloadable via either Apple or Google. Users post a profile after identifying only their gender and sexual identity and then scroll away for possible matches. While some might feel pressured by that, others appreciate the nudge.
Pure was conceived around the same time as Tinder, Hintsyak explains. Nonetheless, the site is mostly a go-to for heterosexuals searching for casual sex. Along with offering interesting dating opportunities, Pure prides itself as a site where all fetishes are welcome but shame is not, Hintsyak says.
Everyone on Pure can remain anonymous, male or female, and no one has to include pictures with a profile. Plus, if someone does send photos to a match, the images self-destruct within seconds of being viewed.
